My wipers do not work due to a broken piece inside the lever. How can I find an assembly layout of this lever and get the best home remedy to fix this?

This look like what you need?

Check the vehicle information or enter it in yourself. i guessed that you had a 3.8L probably does not matter for this part anyway.

Even after you click on them, the screenshots are sort of small you may be able to "magnify" them by upping your screen more than 100%.

Any questions about this just ask.

I hope this aids you.

Keep us informed on progress.

The windshield wipers are not working.

The relay/fuse appears to be good.

The wiper washer works, but the windshield wipers don't come on.

I changed the wiper switch that is part of the steering column.

I removed the wiper motor and cannot find any power to the socket that connects to the wiper motor.

I bought a new wiper motor and connected it to socket without installing the motor. I made sure I grounded the motor to a good ground contact and the motor did not work. I tried a few different motors the same way.

In the box that the motor came in, there was instruction papers. It said that it could be the wiper governor.

The motor fits many models so I do not know if my car has a wiper governor.
If it does, where can I locate the wiper governor and how to I test it to see if it is the problem?

Thanks
